SPDIF unless terminated in proper 75 ohm BNCs, is my least favored way to move a digital signal. AES works well, and I have also been quite satisfied with USB 2.0
SPDIF vs. AES/EBU Sound Quality?
All else being equal (same cable, etc.), will the AES/EBU connection provide better sound quality than SPDIF? I just realized by Lumin U1 mini has AES/EBU output and one of my DACs (my favorite) has AES/EBU input.
A forum search and even a google search pulled up nothing definitive and I figured I'd ask before buying an $$$ AES/EBU cable
